BOISE, Idaho—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 28, 2008—
Micron Technology, Inc. today announced that it is extending its line of
automotive memory products to reach an extended temperature range of -40
degrees to +105 degrees Celsius, critical for keeping the memory
operating under extreme heat conditions. These new products complement
Micron’s existing line of high-quality,
rigorously-tested automotive memory and storage products (with a
temperature range of -40 degrees to +85 degrees Celsius) that power some
of the world’s most popular in-car electronic
applications.

Today’s vehicles feature a growing variety of
entertainment, convenience, and advanced safety options including
navigation, telematics and driver assistance. These features require
automotive manufacturers to design more technology –
into less space – to keep the systems running.
With the additional devices packed into a vehicle, these clusters of
technology generate additional heat, creating a challenging environment
to maintain operation. As an answer to this challenge, the extended
temperature range of Micron’s new automotive
temperature (AT) memory products offers outstanding performance and
proven reliability for products designed to operate under these
conditions.

As further confirmation to its commitment to the automotive market,
Micron today also announced that it is ranked as the number one supplier
in automotive DRAM market share; according to a recent report published
by Gartner (Semiconductor Industry Worldwide Annual Market Share:
Database, March 2008). The ranking notes that Micron captured a 34
percent share in automotive DRAM for 2007 and it was the second straight
year that the company was the top ranked vendor.

“The keys to success in automotive electronic
design are ensuring product longevity and reliability, which we
accomplish through technology innovation and market commitment,”
said Richard Chaney, Senior Manager of Automotive Marketing for Micron. “As
evidenced by our leadership in supplying our customers with the industry’s
highest automotive temperature range memory products and the latest
Gartner ranking, we remain steadfast in our dedication to the automotive
industry.”

Micron’s new AT memory products include
PSRAM, SDR, DDR2, and Mobile DRAM components and come in an array of
organizations, densities, and packages. Specifically, a key advantage of
Micron’s Mobile DRAM is its x32
configuration, enabling a low-cost option by using fewer components for
wide-bus architectures. Micron’s AT memory
products are also well-suited for applications that require an extended
temperature range such as mobile and industrial where heat is often an
issue with stacking in multi-chip packages.

Micron’s line of AT memory parts are now in
mass production. Additional information on Micron’s
AT memory products, plus its broader line of automotive memory and
storage technology can be found at
